A presente dissertação analisa a relação entre o luto e o teatro enquanto possível instrumento de expressão e intervenção social/comunitária, procurando compreender de que forma as práticas artísticas teatrais podem contribuir para o bem-estar de adultos enlutados. Partindo do pressuposto de que o luto é uma experiência inevitável e universal, marcada por transformações emocionais, psicológicas e sociais, o estudo propõe uma reflexão sobre o potencial do teatro como meio de comunicação, partilha e reconstrução simbólica da perda. A investigação estrutura-se em seis capítulos. O enquadramento teórico apresenta os principais modelos e perspetivas sobre o luto, destacando os contributos de Bowlby, Kübler-Ross e Parkes, e explora a relação entre emoções e bem-estar. Segue-se uma análise do bem-estar subjetivo, psicológico e social, evidenciando o impacto do luto na saúde e na qualidade de vida. Além disto, enfatiza ainda o papel das expressões artísticas, nomeadamente do teatro, enquanto ferramenta de intervenção emocional e social, abordando metodologias como o Teatro do Oprimido e o Psicodrama. A metodologia adotada na dissertação consiste num paradigma misto, combinando abordagens quantitativas e qualitativas. Foram aplicados questionários e
realizadas entrevistas a participantes adultos, com o objetivo de recolher perceções sobre a influência das práticas teatrais no processo de luto e as suas opiniões sobre projetos que abordem o luto e o teatro. Os resultados revelam que o teatro promove a expressão emocional e a elaboração simbólica da perda, contribuindo para o bem-estar e a integração social. Em síntese, o teatro pode ser um recurso eficaz na intervenção junto de pessoas enlutadas, promovendo o diálogo, a aceitação e a transformação emocional. A investigação reforça a importância de integrar as artes performativas em contextos educativos e comunitários, salientando o seu valor terapêutico e social na reconstrução do significado da perda.
This dissertation analyzes the relationship between grief and theater as a possible instrument of expression and social/community intervention, seeking to understand how theatrical artistic practices can contribute to the well-being of bereaved adults. Based on the assumption that grief is an inevitable and universal experience, marked by emotional, psychological, and social transformations, the study proposes a reflection on the potential of theater as a means of communication, sharing, and symbolic reconstruction of loss. The research is structured in six chapters. The theoretical framework presents the main models and perspectives on grief, highlighting the contributions of Bowlby, Kübler-Ross, and Parkes, and explores the relationship between emotions and well-being. This is followed by an analysis of subjective, psychological, and social well-being, highlighting the impact of grief on health and quality of life. In addition, it emphasizes the role of artistic expressions, particularly theater, as a tool for emotional and social intervention, addressing methodologies such as the Theater of the Oppressed and Psychodrama. The methodology adopted in the dissertation consists of a mixed paradigm, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. Questionnaires were administered and interviews were conducted with adult participants to gather perceptions about the influence of theatrical practices on the grieving process and their opinions on projects that address grief and theater. The results reveal that theater promotes emotional expression and symbolic elaboration of loss, contributing to well-being and social integration. In summary, theater can be an effective resource in interventions with bereaved people, promoting dialogue, acceptance, and emotional transformation. The research reinforces the importance of integrating the performing arts into educational and community contexts, highlighting their therapeutic and social value in reconstructing the meaning of loss.
